GameplayEdit

In Osmos, you are a ball of matter in space filled with randomly arranged balls of matter, which can accelerate by excreting part of its own mass, and grow by absorbing orbs smaller than it's own mass. The danger is in balancing these 2 opposing actions. You can also use the scroll wheel on your mouse to fast forward or slow down time. Fast forwards are treacherous, because you use it when trying to skip time when your speed is too slow, but you don't want to sacrifice matter. This is because other balls of matter can grow very rapidly by chain reactions of growing from collision with smaller balls.

TriviaEdit

Osmos was nominated for the 2009 IGF Seamus McNally Grand Prize, Excellence in Design, Technical Excellence and D2D Vision Award. It won the D2D Vision Award. Osmos was also one of the Pax10 showcase games in 2009
